If you're not accustomed to calling your elected officials, 5 Calls is a great tool for getting started. They even provide scripts.

In between calling our U.S. senators this week about DHS funding, let's call our elected state officials to voice our opposition to this. Then keep calling.
As conservative activists push Republicans to take a harder line against Muslims, and the GOP and its factions debate what constitutes American identity, opposition to Islam has become a key campaign pillar for some Texas Republicans in statewide races and beyond.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

"As a United States military veteran trained in counterinsurgency and detainee operations, from my perspective—Alex was not resisting. What I saw disgusted me, it made me sick to my stomach!" LIVE NOW ⬇️

NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?

Don't stop calling, now or ever.

Our representative democracy, as dysfunctional as it is, depends on your continuous engagement with elected officials.
We got you. ✊

Call scripts are updated to demand investigations, block funding for ICE, and impeach, like, everyone. Have at it. 🔥☎️🔥
I called yesterday and will call again today. If you’re new to it, 5calls.org has got your back.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

We have eyes, @cnn.com. We saw what happened, and what you reported in that second sentence wasn't it.

Don't tell us, @schumer.senate.gov , show us.

Take meaningful action or step aside. Actually, just step aside for someone more committed to defending the US from this brutal, criminal regime.

You're on the clock. Hold ICE accountable by all available means.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social:

What's it going to take for you to uphold your oath to defend the Constitution? How many people must disappear? How many people must die? How many families must be torn apart? How many lives must be irrevocably harmed?

Where's your line?
January 22, 2026 at 12:06 AM
Do your fucking job, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, & defend the Constitution. You can start by getting your House completely aligned to oppose the DHS/ICE funding bill.

Then get every one of them on camera & in front of microphones, calling out the atrocities of this criminal regime.

Tick tock.
NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus.
From me:

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect
While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

Help us contact voters in key states and connect them with their senators to demand ICE Out For Good. With the Senate set to vote on whether to empower Trump to send more secret police forces into our communities, we have an opportunity to rein in ICE at the federal level.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

My 2025 Reads

I read 53 books in 2025, exceeding my goal of 26 by 204%.

32 "new to me" authors.

Fifteen 5 star ratings.

Given the state of things in the world, it's no surprise that my reading skewed heavily towards fiction (46).

My December Reads

- Hot Desk by Laura Dickerman
- Dream State by Eric Puchner
- The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett
- Buckeye by Patrick Ryan

I'd say I finished the year with some strong selections. The last two are contenders for my favorite fiction in 2025.
